To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Damon, [78] Old Edinburgh and Her Poet-Laureate Alexis, and Corydon recline on the slopes of the Pentlands and warble responsively of Aurora, Cynthia, and Sol, of the drooping olive and the trembling zephyr. It is all very poor stuff, of the pseudo-classic fashion, then prev- alent in England, without a touch of the true Scotch fire which glows through all his poems in the vernacular. The succeeding poems of this year were all English and all equally worthless. Nothing can be more pitiful than ...the sentimental Complaint on the Decay of Friendship, except perhaps the mock heroics of A Saturdaijs Expedition. But with the be- ginning of the next year Fergusson found his true vein. The Daft Days which appeared in January, 1772, was written in a famous vernacular stanza which had been handed down from the courtly poets of the middle ages by David Lindesay and Allan Ramsay. The simpHcity, directness, and vividness of the opening lines show at once that the poet has emerged into the freedom of his mother tongue [79] Studies of a Booklover and Is no longer painfully attempting to culti- vate the olives of the south on the heather- clad hills of his northern land.
